Or the inverse, which seems more on point here:

 

Trumpists want to lower corporate taxes and substitute regressive consumer taxes in the form of tariffs.

 

All economists except Peter Retarrdo have already told them, over and over again.

My guy, you’ve been going on for weeks now about returning manufacturing to the US. Biden’s CHIPS Act is doing just that. 
 

Trump can’t claim credit for this because it wasn’t his legislation. Biden did it.

I’m just confirming we’re all on the same page regarding China and getting manufacturing - specifically the vitals - back here in the US

corporate taxes are regressive consumer taxes

Pausing auto tariffs again, I see. Who woulda thought that developing supply chains for complex products isn’t done in a month?

Well well well, look who suddenly bought a bunch of tech stocks just before “the pause”

We need manufacturing, but factory work is for those other people; not me or my kids. That’s partly why businesses left.

I don't care where stuff is made. My point is that Trump shouldn't take credit for Nvidia when Biden's policies are the ones that got them there in the first place.

What the left calls ‘chaos,’ the rest of us call ‘winning:’

One by one, countries line up to make a deal with the world’s largest economy.

By Robert Kimball

 

For those scouring the news cycle for the next meme, I offer what seems to me the word of the day: “chaos.”

 

Yes, that’s right, like some character out of the Book of Revelation Donald Trump has unleashed chaos upon the world. He is in the process of gutting, defunding or eliminating all the left’s favorite playpens, from the Department of Education to the National Endowment for Democracy.

 

Thanks to the efforts of Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency, he has revealed the sorry truth that “NGO,” which we were told meant “non-governmental organization,” actually means “nurturing governmental officialdom,” i.e., diverting taxpayer dollars for oneself, one’s relatives and people who can do you some favors. Which is to say that the “non” in “NGO” really means “all” or “limitless.” As one canny commentator on X observed, “Over the last few months, we’ve come to a realization that should have landed much harder: NGOs weren’t just adjacent to government, they were the parallel government.”

 

Indeed. Remember all that talk about “the deep state?” NGOs were a critical enabling yeast. . . .

 

Donald Trump has upset that apple cart. For people who care about things like fiscal sanity, accountability and transparency, it is a welcome restoration. For people who have made their living exploiting the many opportunities for corruption the status quo ante offered, it is chaos, a plunge into outer darkness.

 

Once again, the tergiversations of the punditocracy and the public-teat-sucking political class are amusing to behold. Donald Trump announces a raft of tariffs in an effort to bring critical industries back to the United States and to level the economic playing field. The markets weep for a few days. One by one, countries line up to make a deal with the world’s largest economy. At last count, some 90 countries have signaled their intention to trim the tariffs and other trade barriers they have erected against America. Even China is making some agreeable noises. Trump has responded by delaying the imposition of certain tariffs, a canny bit of flexibility that the anti-Trump chorus has denounced as “panic.” “No One Is Buying the White House Spin,” screams one headline. But in fact, countries are lining up to buy it, and it’s no spin, it’s negotiation. As the investor Bill Ackman put it, “A willingness to adjust a strategy based on new facts and data is a sign of the strength of a leader.

 

It is not an indication of weakness.”

Leftists’ unwillingness — inability? — to live in the real world is one of the right’s hidden strengths. Well, hidden from the left, anyway.

Leftists are idiots when it comes to the economy.  Lower corporate tax rates, lower income tax rates, deregulation, securing the border, and no tariffs on imports has always led to a booming economy.

I don’t believe it’s idiocy, I believe it’s strategy.

Any countries rush to make any deals with Trump yet? What's that? Nothing yet? Big surprise. Idiot Maga feel for it again lol.

Just a quick reminder: under recent Democratic leadership, we’ve seen record-low unemployment, historic job growth, a shrinking deficit, and a booming stock market. But sure, tell me more about how “deregulation” is the key to utopia.

Just a quick reminder: stock market performance under Orange Man 1.0 exceeded the market results of President Brandon’s Rushmore-worthy reign. Thoughts? Rhetorical question.

You mean the “booming economy” where wages stagnate, wealth gaps explode, and corporations pay less in taxes than school teachers? That strategy? Yeah, we’ve seen that movie - spoiler: it ends in a recession and a bailout.

Comparing this to the auto bailout is laughable at best. But never let tds get in the way of a good rant!
